FAQ
WILL THIS KIT FIT MY 2011–2012 6.7L CUMMINS RAM?This upper engine gasket set is engineered for EPA07 6.7L ISB applications and is commonly used on 2011–2012 Ram 2500/3500 6.7L trucks. Always confirm by engine serial number (ESN) and VIN to make sure 4955523 is correct for your exact build and emissions calibration.
DOES CUMMINS 4955523 COVER EVERYTHING FOR A HEAD GASKET JOB?
4955523 is designed as an upper engine / head and top-end gasket kit and includes the critical gaskets and seals for head service and upper components. It does not replace every seal on the engine, and some items (such as certain valve cover harness gaskets or lower-end gaskets) may be separate part numbers. For a full reseal, pair this kit with the correct Cummins lower engine gasket set for your ESN.
IS THE VALVE COVER GASKET INCLUDED IN THIS UPPER ENGINE SET?
Catalogs differ by revision; some configurations include valve cover sealing components, while others do not. To avoid downtime, we recommend planning for a separate valve cover gasket or harness gasket and confirming the current Cummins contents list for your specific 4955523 kit before disassembly.
CAN I USE THIS KIT ON OTHER 6.7L CUMMINS MODEL YEARS?
4955523 is targeted at EPA07 6.7L ISB/QSB engines and aligns with 2011–2012 Ram 6.7L truck coverage. Other years often use different upper engine sets (for example, 4955354 for many 2007.5–2018 6.7L applications or 4376090 for 2013–2018 trucks). Always verify the correct kit for your ESN instead of assuming interchange.
WHAT ELSE SHOULD I REPLACE WHILE I’M THIS DEEP INTO THE 6.7L?
Along with the 4955523 upper engine gasket set, many shops upgrade to new head bolts or studs, replace injector sealing washers and critical coolant hoses, and service the engine oil cooler. Pairing this kit with lower engine gaskets and fresh fluids helps protect your investment and reduce the chance of repeat repairs.
